Cheap Ball Joint Warning..

[Arnold]

I did not Google this to see if it is old news already.
  I was talking with a couple of people at a large,reputable Ford dealer ( that fixes all kinds of vehicles) A few people at parts,service and a mechanic.

  "What we are seeing lately..2 in the last week..are control arms etc., that have been destroyed by the installation of very poor quality ball joints. These joints upon often a difficult installation..one that should not have been attempted with such low quality controlled parts ..have resulted in the hole in the control arms etc.,  for the ball joints being ruined..distorted..left oversized so that a good quality joint cannot be installed. We have seen this BECAUSE the customers have experienced problems since that installation and have come here for help"
